Mastering Immigration & Naturalization Records (Quillen's Essentials of Genealogy)

Very few books on this one subject; fills a missing need for budding DIY genealogists!This second in the new Quillens Essentials of Genealogy series gets to the heart of what genealogical research is for most Americans: hitting the shores of the Atlantic Ocean looking east to the UK and Europe as they begin their search for their ancestors. Since America is largely a nation populated by European immigrants from the seventeenth through early twentieth centuries, immigration and naturalization records is often just the source needed to locate important genealogical information. This book explains immigration and naturalization records and their genealogical values, as well as how to locate them.
